General information
Class/mechanism: Complement inhibitor; monoclonal antibody that binds to complement protein C5, preventing its cleavage to C5a and C5b and the formation of the terminal complement complex C5b-9. Eculizumab is used in diseases involving abnormal complement-mediated activity, such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS).[1][2][3]
Route: IV
Extravasation: no information
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, Medscape, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
